Pink Floyd Plans to Release a Killer ‘Division Bell’ Anniversary Box Set

It's not quite the reunion tour we've been hoping for but at least it's something... right?

In order to celebrate the 20^th anniversary of Pink Floyd's The Division Bell, the legendary psychedelic rockers have said they plan to release the band's 1994 album as an extravagant six-disc collector's box set and vinyl release.

Rolling Stone reports that inside the Division Bell package will sit a two-LP, remastered, 180-gram vinyl edition of the album that contains each track in full, a nice perk considering the original tracks were shortened to fit on single LP. Also included will be a CD of the 2011 Discovery version of the album, in addition to three imitation colored vinyl made up of:

1. A red 7-inch "Take it Back" single with a live version of "Astronomy Domine" on the B side
2. A clear 7-inch with edits of both "High Hopes" and "Keep Talking"
3. Finally, a blue 12-inch disc with full versions of "High Hopes" and "Keep Talking" as well as a live rendition of "One of These Days."

Rounding out the set are five art prints and a version of the album mixed in 5.1 surround sound on Blu-Ray and a new video for "Marooned," directed by Aubrey Powell – in high definition, of course.

The Division Bell was the second album the band released following the heavily publicized departure of their co-founder and former bassist/vocalist Roger Waters. Ever since the separation, the bandmates have been in constant "battle" with Waters, but as of 2013, the latter was quoted saying, "I was wrong. Of course I was. Who cares?" in regards to the legal battles over the group's name.

Regardless of the disputes, the band has come together for a handful of performances over the years. Sadly, still no reunion tour.
